The Congregationalist chapel was typical of Nonconformist design in offering an uninterrupted view of the preacher, having no internal supporting structures. As its name suggests the chapel has a square base. Atypically for the Calderdale region it was built of red brick rather than local stone.
Since 1992 the chapel has been used as an arts centre.
